    Wondering if someone can explain the lighting coil ground for me. I have installed a Tusk enduro lighting kit on my 04 TE250 and I have the front signals mounted on the headlight. It would clean up the wiring if I could just use the same ground for the headlight and signals. The signals have a ground coming from the control switch but I was wondering if it would hurt anything to use the ground for the headlight? Not sure if there is any difference but the way the kit wires up is to use the battery to power everything but the headlight, which uses the regular lighting coil controlled separately through the control switch.

    Thanks, Ed

    Without seeing the wiring schematic for your particular bike this a guess. I would assume that your headlight is an AC circuit and all the rest of your electrical circuits are DC circuits, so no I would not use the same ground from the headlight to power your signals.

    Thanks, I kind of thought the headlight was a/c, just wondered if there was a functional difference between the grounds. I guess one more wire wont hurt.
